Joel Dommett has described the moment he 'nearly died' after being attacked by a Great Dane while filming ITV's new reality show Celebrity Sabotage. The programme, which debuts on Saturday 21 March at 8pm, sees celebrities prank members of the public to win them prizes.
Dommett, alongside Sam Thompson, GK Barry and Judi Love, acts as a 'saboteur' tasked with disrupting contestants on spoof game shows. In one segment, Dommett was disguised as a dog toy while attempting to remove a collar from a Great Dane.
Speaking to The Sun, Dommett said: 'There was a Great Dane and I was dressed as dog toys. It’s genuinely one of the most frightening moments of my life. GK was there trying to distract the owner while I was dressed as dog toys, trying to get a collar off the dog without being noticed. The dog had a wig on! I was dressed as dog toys. Obviously, the dog just wanted to eat me. I nearly died.'
The series includes spoofs such as Couple Goals, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, The Applicant (a parody of The Apprentice) with Sara Davies, and The Backstabs, a Traitors-inspired show presented by Rylan Clark. Dommett described the show as 'absolute madness' and 'the most I’ve laughed in ages'.
